Any good “what if” calculators recommended? Trying to see what impact saving an extra 15 or 20k will do. It is obvious that it impacts current lifestyle, but how much longer until FI? Not looking to suck it up if only shaving off 6 months or a year FWIW

Looking for some actual information and respectful discoursed, not anecdotal stories or whataboutism, please.

With the high transmission rate of the Omicron variant, what is the likelihood of achieving some semblance of herd immunity? The very real & dark prospect of another 250,000 deaths by April 1st (15MM infections w/ 1.62% mortality) would mean a 30% increase in cases, which is realistic with a R0 value exceeding measles. So with the additional cases + 60% vaccinated, will it just die off?

Does anyone have any experience with lingual braces? Would greatly appreciate any insights or takeaways from the experience!

Dreading Thanksgiving. I love my family but I’ve lost 30 lbs since I last saw them due to cancer and haven’t told them. I know they are going to congratulate me for “losing weight” and compare my cousins to me to encourage them to do the same. How do I handle this?

Has anyone cashed out a term life policy? Any hiccups? What was your experience?

We have an employee who continually takes intermittent FMLA. She never fully uses her 480 hours but comes close. Then she renews, year after year. Is there a limit as to how many times she can do this? She is a team lead and yes we have a back up for her but this is getting a bit frustrating for the managers. Any suggestions?

Is there any truth to the rumor that advertising falls under the “media” category for vaccine phase 1c?

Has anyone experienced what feels like dramatic blood sugar decreases without having diabetes?

I also have very low blood pressure..could that be it? Obviously will talk to my dr about it too, but asking here first.

Why do consulting firms terminate employment of Junior consultants for no serious reason ? Taking juniors like luxury interim people... I have a friend that got laid off after two probations (6 months for the first probation, 8 for the second) for no reason. She felt profoundly disrespected and says that if nobody can take her longer than 6 months, she can't progress alone. How can she move forward and persuade her future employer to confirm her employment?

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

We were told that the probation period is a training period & not an elimination one. It was shocking as a few of those trainees were actually good.

Finishing up my first year of big law, thinking of starting my own practice while I work at my current position. Thinking that in a few months, I’ll concretely work solely for my own practice full-time. How difficult is it to gain clients (mainly PI and civil lit)? My mentor also offered me to be an off counsel while I’m working at my current job so that I can refer cases for a cut, would there be an ethical issue? FYI my firm does unrelated law to PI and doesn’t forbid doing extra work.

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked. New org is very focused on that. He is not a driving leader, but is the only one with the tech knowledge needed. He is retirement eligible. He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?

In-house people: how do you handle not getting what you need for PR efforts because other teams don’t understand the level of detail you need? Would also appreciate any advice on how to educate non-PR/Comms team members on how to support you.

For context, I’m a solo PR Manager at a tech startup and really struggling to get basic information/commitments to allow me to do my job.

Last year I moved to a new city to be with my girlfriend after she took a new job in that city. One year later I realized this was the unhappiest year of my adult life. I don’t know if it’s because of my relationship or because I’m in a new city with less friends/social life. 27M

Has any built/bought an at home ice plunge? If so, do you enjoy it and use it frequently? I’ve always taken cold showers off and on but I’m at the point now where I can take 10 minute showers with the coldest water my shower has. I’m thinking about buying a bunch of ice this afternoon to try it out in a tub but that’s not feasible long term.

Hi everyone I have been having major energy issues lately. Once it gets dark, the second it gets dark my energy levels just drop and all I want to do is lay on the couch and watch TV, and lately that’s been around 4:30 pm here. Any recommendations on how to get over this slump?

Anyone have any tips for overcoming burnout? I’ve had some toxic work environments over the last 10 years and finally in a company I value with a job I feel valued in. I worked hard to climb the corporate ladder and ended up taking a down level and a slight pay cut to feel happier and I definitely do BUT I still feel the effects of burnout on the daily. I also feel guilty for not feeling more grateful for how good I have it and for lacking motivation. Any advice from others that experience this?

Can anyone recommend some good resources (books maybe?) for learning about intermittent fasting? Seems to be a lot of contradictory crap online.

Alright - time for a little accountability! What are you all doing this weekend to stay on track for your fitness goals?

Kind of an odd one here, but last week my ankle got bitten by a large dog. I can walk on it fine, and it’s healing well, but still a bit swollen.

How long should I wait before doing leg exercises at the gym?

P.S. I know the dog, and know she’s not rabid. I’ll let everyone know if I start foaming at the mouth, though.

If my blood sugar is consistenly within fasting levels (not higher than 100 mg/dl), even after eating, does that mean that my body isnt taking sugar from my foods? (I eat high vegg)
